Cellulitis:

Cellulitis is an acute spreading infection that involves subcutaneous tissue; most commonly caused by Group A Streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus. Trauma, underlying skin lesions and spread from adjacent infections such as osteomyelitis can lead to the development of cellulitis. Clinically rapidly intensifying pain and redness is a common presentation. Fever and lymphadenopathy may be present. The borders in cellulitis are not well demarcated. Rarely organisms like H. influenza and Pneumococcus may also cause cellulitis.
